It stands to reason that if God is light:

“This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.”  

~ 1 John 1:5 NASB

And we are children of God:

“The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,” 

~ Romans 8:16 NASB

Then we are children of light:

“for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness;” 

~ 1 Thessalonians 5:5 NASB

Light cannot be hidden; it overcomes darkness every time they meet.  You are that light to generations in darkness.  You bring the light of Christ wherever you go.  Make the most of every encounter you have. 

Seek to love and serve way beyond what is expected and when you you grab the attention of those on the receiving end, point all the glory to the your loving Father in heaven.  For He has made you to shine His light before men that they may see these amazing acts of love and light and give Him glory!

Who are those people around you that need some love and light today?  Is it the person who comes alone to church and tries to sneak in and out unnoticed? Or the single mom who’s barely making it? Or the guy who’s destroyed his family with his drinking problem? Or perhaps it’s the woman who is successful in all her ventures but has no time for God.  Go the extra mile to reach out to them. 

Set aside your plans to get more done on this Sunday and enjoy being the light you were called to be. Watch faces light up as you love and serve.  Be intentional to extinguish every shadow of darkness, in every corner of every life!
